'Lost city' discovery: Kansas site sheds new light on Native American history
2017-04-23
[FOX] Archaeologists have found incredible evidence of a huge Wichita Indian town in Kansas that was once home to 20,000 people.

Donald Blakeslee, a professor of archaeology at Wichita State University, told Fox News that experts harnessed 400-year-old Spanish documents and modern technology to locate the long-lost town of Etzanoa near Arkansas City, Kansas.

"A single community of 20,000 people was not something that any of us expected," he said over the phone. "It’s a completely different view of everything."

#2  Solid ball? Or corroded hollow ball? The de Soto entrada carried lots of ornamental bells for trade.

#1  Missing is that it was a local kid who was out exploring and found a metal ball about 1/2" diameter - could not trust the local news, they said cannonball. Could be arquebus, could be grapeshot. Anyways, kid knew it was out of the ordinary and went towards people who might know such things. Nice of the professor and the news system to take credit for finding it.
